Calle Campillo
Nogales Mexico Tourism Districts
Calle Campillo is the east-west street that is one block south of the international border wall that runs between Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Mexico. As you walk south after crossing the border at the DeConcini pedestrian border crossing, Calle Campillo is the first cross-street you will see.
Calle (Spanish for “street,” pronounced cai – yay) Campillo (cam-pee-yo) is on the south end of the Plaza Pesqueira open-air commercial center, and connects with Avenida Lopez Mateos, and Avenida Obregon, both major avenues in the tourism district.
The main Calle Campillo tourism area extends two blocks from Plaza Pesquiera to Avenida Obregon. Along this busy street are food vendors, pharmacies and curio shops.
When walking from Plaza Pesquiera west, the first north-south street you will pass is Avenida Juarez. If you find yourself feeling thirsty when you come to the intersection of Campillo and Juarez, just take a right turn and stop for a cold beverage at the Regis, a traditional Nogales bar that has been open since 1928.
Continuing along Campillo, just before you reach Avenida Obregon, is the “Pasaje Morelos” alley located just to the east of the Fray Marcos Hotel (the tall white hotel on the corner of Campillo and Avenida Obregon.
In addition to artisans who set up tables to sell their goods there, Pasaje Morelos also has curio shops, a restaurant, motel and a local dentist’s office.
Across the street from the Fray you will see the main building for Nogales professional medical and dental offices in Nogales, Mexico. “Campillo 86” is a modern three-story office building located across the street from the Fray Marcos on the northeast corner of Campillo and Avenida Obregon.
